MONTREAL – Communications company Quebecor Inc. needs support from Ottawa to deploy its mobile telephone network across Canada.

Quebecor CEO Pierre Dion, whose company owns QMI Agency and Sun Media, said a national expansion would only be profitable if Ottawa further regulates roaming charges.

"We want to become the fourth player but we would like the government to take a position (for us) to be on the same footing with the other main players," Dion said prior to a shareholders' meeting in Montreal.
